Christmas Stitching + Busy in France

My
last week has been a strange mixture of travel, illness, a ball and
settling into the alpine French town that will be my home for the
next four months! I really love this country, even if my grasp of the
language only extends as far as 'Salut, ca va?' (Hi, how are you?).
At the moment I'm taking an hour or two of French lesson a day,
hopefully it will sink in.

Among
it all Calm Waters has been sidelined for a bit to do some Christmas
stitching which I can only give you a small peek of right now. The
aida really isn't my favourite thing in the world, but a compact
ready-brought kit was far easier to travel with than anything else.

I
can't resist sharing the current view from my window with you. I love
the buildings here. And yes that is a mid-winter sky, a benefit of
living in the Alps (unfortunately it also means that the weather
could turn at any second and we'll be down to -15).

Happy
thanksgiving for those of you stateside, and happy stitching everyone
else!

Recently I've been taking a step back from blogging - life calls! So until the bug hits again, this space has become more of a straight-out diary for my crafting life. But still, have a look around, I'm glad to have you here
